I love these tatted earrings ! I do Needle Tatting and it's so easy to learn . If you go to Amazon they have a Wonderful Needle Tatting Book . It gives step by step instructions and photos. It's called " Learn Needle Tatting " by Barbara Foster. It's so easy to learn and it's all done on a long needle and I learned in one sitting , it's that easy . No Shuttle involved. Also, Amazon sells the Tatting Needles in different sizes . Go for it ! Learn a Art that's almost lost .
